Built environment

Built over tracks, campsites, rock art and middens used for thousands of years before the dispossession of the Aboriginal people, Sydney's early haphazard development was given form by public buildings. As public transport developed, suburbs spread, and throughout the twentieth century, town planners struggled with developers to direct the form and extent of the city. After World War II, city buildings got taller, outer suburbs sprang up ever further away, and issues of heritage and architecture were contested. In the twenty-first century, concerns about environment, urban density, public transport and renewed infrastructure are driving change.

Residential building

Bellevue Hill

Affluent suburb overlooking the harbour five kilometres east of central Sydney. In the nineteenth century it was home to villas built by the colony's emerging plutocracy. Mass suburban development was helped by the extension of the tram line to Bondi Beach in 1914.
